Rita didn't know what Maple Syrup meant by "cookies," but she didn't really care.
Like Lightchaser always said, she didn't care about justice or law.
So she accepted Maple Syrup's invitation to team up without hesitation.
And Maple Syrup already had three teammates lined up—Pine Bloom, Mojie, and Pomango.
With Maple Syrup as the middleman, both sides confirmed they were satisfied with the lineup. Just like that, this year's team slots were locked in.
[Rita]: Nobody minds I disappeared for three years?
[Maple Syrup]: Three years gone and still better than trash.
[Rita]: I like our team! Excellent taste all around!
She closed the chat window and announced the good news to her two teachers.
GodDraw77 handed her a fresh Moonlight Marsh uniform. "Hurry up and change."
Lightchaser tossed her a thin-bladed dagger. "This one has a storage space built in."
Rita caught it with delight, found the gem set in the hilt, and peeked inside.
